Processing capabilities for multicast and broadcast service physical downlink shared channels

ABSTRACT

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, an indication that indicates whether a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by downlink control information (DCI) is associated with a second PDSCH processing capability, wherein the second PDSCH processing capability has a shorter duration than a first PDSCH processing capability. The UE may receive, from the base station, the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI. The UE may transmit, to the base station and based at least in part on the indication, hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback in accordance with the first PDSCH processing capability or the second PDSCH processing capability. Numerous other aspects are described.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatuses for processing capabilities for multicast and broadcast service (MBS) physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs).

BACKGROUND

Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, or the like). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

A wireless network may include one or more base stations that support communication for a user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE may communicate with a base station via downlink communications and uplink communications. “Downlink” (or “DL”) refers to a communication link from the base station to the UE, and “uplink” (or “UL”) refers to a communication link from the UE to the base station.

The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and/or global level. New Radio (NR), which may be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink, using CP-OFDM and/or single-carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful.

Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. One skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or combined with any other aspect of the disclosure.

It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim.

Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, or the like (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

While aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with a 5G or New Radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as a 3G RAT, a 4G RAT, and/or a RAT subsequent to 5G (e.g., 6G).

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100, in accordance with the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and/or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, among other examples. The wireless network 100 may include one or more base stations 110 (shown as a BS 110 a, a BS 110 b, a BS 110 c, and a BS 110 d), a user equipment (UE) 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as a UE 120 a, a UE 120 b, a UE 120 c, a UE 120 d, and a UE 120 e), and/or other network entities. A base station 110 is an entity that communicates with UEs 120. A base station 110 (sometimes referred to as a BS) may include, for example, an NR base station, an LTE base station, a Node B, an eNB (e.g., in 4G), a gNB (e.g., in 5G), an access point, and/or a transmission reception point (TRP). Each base station 110 may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a base station 110 and/or a base station subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

A base station 110 may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscriptions. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs 120 having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs 120 in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A base station 110 for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro base station. A base station 110 for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico base station. A base station 110 for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto base station or an in-home base station. In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the BS 110 a may be a macro base station for a macro cell 102 a, the BS 110 b may be a pico base station for a pico cell 102 b, and the BS 110 c may be a femto base station for a femto cell 102 c. A base station may support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells.

In some examples, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a base station 110 that is mobile (e.g., a mobile base station). In some examples, the base stations 110 may be interconnected to one another and/or to one or more other base stations 110 or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces, such as a direct physical connection or a virtual network, using any suitable transport network.

The wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a base station 110 or a UE 120) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE 120 or a base station 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 that can relay transmissions for other UEs 120. In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the BS 110 d (e.g., a relay base station) may communicate with the BS 110 a (e.g., a macro base station) and the UE 120 d in order to facilitate communication between the BS 110 a and the UE 120 d. A base station 110 that relays communications may be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay, or the like.

The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes base stations 110 of different types, such as macro base stations, pico base stations, femto base stations, relay base stations, or the like. These different types of base stations 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and/or different impacts on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, macro base stations may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico base stations, femto base stations, and relay base stations may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

A network controller 130 may couple to or communicate with a set of base stations 110 and may provide coordination and control for these base stations 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the base stations 110 via a backhaul communication link. The base stations 110 may communicate with one another directly or indirectly via a wireless or wireline backhaul communication link.

The UEs 120 may be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. A UE 120 may include, for example, an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, and/or a subscriber unit. A UE 120 may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or a smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and/or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, a smart meter/sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, and/or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless medium.

Some UEs 120 may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. An MTC UE and/or an eMTC UE may include, for example, a robot, a drone, a remote device, a sensor, a meter, a monitor, and/or a location tag, that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband IoT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment. A UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of the UE 120, such as processor components and/or memory components. In some examples, the processor components and the memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory components (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and/or electrically coupled.

In general, any number of wireless networks 100 may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network 100 may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, or the like. A frequency may be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120 a and UE 120 e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using a base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate with one another). For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol, a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol, or a vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocol), and/or a mesh network. In such examples, a UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station 110.

Devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided by frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, or the like. For example, devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using one or more operating bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz-7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz-52.6 GHz). It should be understood that although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “Sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. A similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurs with regard to FR2, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz-300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band.

The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR studies have identified an operating band for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7.125 GHz-24.25 GHz). Frequency bands falling within FR3 may inherit FR1 characteristics and/or FR2 characteristics, and thus may effectively extend features of FR1 and/or FR2 into mid-band frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation beyond 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz-71 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz-114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz-300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

With the above examples in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies that may be less than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1, and/or FR5, or may be within the EHF band. It is contemplated that the frequencies included in these operating bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and/or FR5) may be modified, and techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

In some aspects, a UE (e.g., UE 120) may include a communication manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may receive, from a base station, an indication that indicates whether a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by downlink control information (DCI) is associated with a second PDSCH processing capability, wherein the MBS PDSCH is scrambled by a group radio network temporary identifier (G-RNTI) configured for the MBS and the DCI scheduling the MBS PDSCH is with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by the G-RNTI or a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI), and wherein the second PDSCH processing capability has a shorter duration than a first PDSCH processing capability; receive, from the base station, the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI; and transmit, to the base station and based at least in part on the indication, hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback in accordance with the first PDSCH processing capability or the second PDSCH processing capability. Additionally, or alternatively, the communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

In some aspects, a base station (e.g., base station 110) may include a communication manager 150. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 150 may transmit, to a UE, an indication that indicates whether an MBS PDSCH scheduled by DCI is associated with a second PDSCH processing capability, wherein the MBS PDSCH is scrambled by a G-RNTI configured for the MBS and the DCI scheduling the MBS PDSCH is with a CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI or a C-RNTI, and wherein the second PDSCH processing capability has a shorter duration than a first PDSCH processing capability; transmit, to the UE, the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI; and receive, from the UE and based at least in part on the indication, HARQ-ACK feedback in accordance with the first PDSCH processing capability or the second PDSCH processing capability. Additionally, or alternatively, the communication manager 150 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

As indicated above, FIG. 1 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 1 .

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of a base station 110 in communication with a UE 120 in a wireless network 100, in accordance with the present disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234 a through 234 t, such as T antennas (T>1). The UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252 a through 252 r, such as R antennas (R>1).

At the base station 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data, from a data source 212, intended for the UE 120 (or a set of UEs 120). The transmit processor 220 may select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) for the UE 120 based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from that UE 120. The UE 120 may process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for the UE 120 based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for the UE 120 and may provide data symbols for the UE 120. The transmit processor 220 may process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and/or upper layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor 220 may generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., T modems), shown as modems 232 a through 232 t. For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of a modem 232. Each modem 232 may use a respective modulator component to process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may further use a respective modulator component to process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and/or upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The modems 232 a through 232 t may transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., T antennas), shown as antennas 234 a through 234 t.

At the UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252 a through 252 r) may receive the downlink signals from the base station 110 and/or other base stations 110 and may provide a set of received signals (e.g., R received signals) to a set of modems 254 (e.g., R modems), shown as modems 254 a through 254 r. For example, each received signal may be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of a modem 254. Each modem 254 may use a respective demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and/or digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each modem 254 may use a demodulator component to further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from the modems 254, may perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and may provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, may provide decoded data for the UE 120 to a data sink 260, and may provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor 280. The term “controller/processor” may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. A channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and/or a CQI parameter, among other examples. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in a housing 284.

The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller/processor 290, and a memory 292. The network controller 130 may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. The network controller 130 may communicate with the base station 110 via the communication unit 294.

One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234 a through 234 t and/or antennas 252 a through 252 r) may include, or may be included within, one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements, and/or one or more antenna arrays, among other examples. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements (within a single housing or multiple housings), a set of coplanar antenna elements, a set of non-coplanar antenna elements, and/or one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmission and/or reception components, such as one or more components of FIG. 2 .

On the uplink, at the UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports that include RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and/or CQI) from the controller/processor 280. The transmit processor 264 may generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by the modems 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to the base station 110. In some examples, the modem 254 of the UE 120 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of the antenna(s) 252, the modem(s) 254, the MIMO detector 256, the receive processor 258, the transmit processor 264, and/or the TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller/processor 280) and the memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to FIGS. 8-10 ).

At the base station 110, the uplink signals from UE 120 and/or other UEs may be received by the antennas 234, processed by the modem 232 (e.g., a demodulator component, shown as DEMOD, of the modem 232), detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and provide the decoded control information to the controller/processor 240. The base station 110 may include a communication unit 244 and may communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The base station 110 may include a scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink and/or uplink communications. In some examples, the modem 232 of the base station 110 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of the antenna(s) 234, the modem(s) 232, the MIMO detector 236, the receive processor 238, the transmit processor 220, and/or the TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller/processor 240) and the memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to FIGS. 8-10 ).

The controller/processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller/processor 280 of the UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of FIG. 2 may perform one or more techniques associated with processing capabilities for MBS PDSCHs, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller/processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller/processor 280 of the UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of FIG. 2 may perform or direct operations of, for example, process 900 of FIG. 9 , process 1000 of FIG. 10 , and/or other processes as described herein. The memory 242 and the memory 282 may store data and program codes for the base station 110 and the UE 120, respectively. In some examples, the memory 242 and/or the memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and/or program code) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly, or after compiling, converting, and/or interpreting) by one or more processors of the base station 110 and/or the UE 120, may cause the one or more processors, the UE 120, and/or the base station 110 to perform or direct operations of, for example, process 900 of FIG. 9 , process 1000 of FIG. 10 , and/or other processes as described herein. In some examples, executing instructions may include running the instructions, converting the instructions, compiling the instructions, and/or interpreting the instructions, among other examples.

In some aspects, a UE (e.g., UE 120) includes means for receiving, from a base station, an indication that indicates whether an MBS PDSCH scheduled by DCI is associated with a second PDSCH processing capability, wherein the MBS PDSCH is scrambled by a G-RNTI configured for the MBS and the DCI scheduling the MBS

PDSCH is with a CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI or a C-RNTI, and wherein the second PDSCH processing capability has a shorter duration than a first PDSCH processing capability; means for receiving, from the base station, the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI; and/or means for transmitting, to the base station and based at least in part on the indication, HARQ-ACK feedback in accordance with the first PDSCH processing capability or the second PDSCH processing capability. The means for the UE to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of communication manager 140, antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, controller/processor 280, or memory 282.

In some aspects, a base station (e.g., base station 110) includes means for transmitting, to a UE, an indication that indicates whether an MBS PDSCH scheduled by DCI is associated with a second PDSCH processing capability, wherein the MBS PDSCH is scrambled by a G-RNTI configured for the MBS and the DCI scheduling the MBS PDSCH is with a CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI or a C-RNTI, and wherein the second PDSCH processing capability has a shorter duration than a first PDSCH processing capability; means for transmitting, to the UE, the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI; and/or means for receiving, from the UE and based at least in part on the indication, HARQ-ACK feedback in accordance with the first PDSCH processing capability or the second PDSCH processing capability. The means for the base station to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of communication manager 150, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, modem 232, antenna 234, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller/processor 240, memory 242, or scheduler 246.

While blocks in FIG. 2 are illustrated as distinct components, the functions described above with respect to the blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combination component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to the transmit processor 264, the receive processor 258, and/or the TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of the controller/processor 280.

As indicated above, FIG. 2 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 2 .

With regard to multicast group scheduling for radio resource control (RRC) connected UEs, a common frequency resource (CFR) may be used for a multicast group common physical downlink control channel (GP-PDCCH) and/or a group common physical downlink shared channel (GP-PDSCH). The CFR for GP-PDCCH and/or GP-PDSCH (GC-PDCCH/PDSCH) may be configured within a frequency resource of a dedicated unicast bandwidth part (BWP) and may use a same numerology (e.g., a same subcarrier spacing (SCS) and cyclic prefix (CP)). A GC-PDCCH with a CRC scrambled by a common radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) may be used to schedule a GC-PDSCH scrambled by the same common RNTI.

A CFR configuration may indicate a starting physical resource block (PRB) and a quantity of PRBs. The CFR configuration may indicate a PDSCH configuration (PDSCH-config) for an MBS, which may be separate from a PDSCH configuration of the dedicated unicast BWP. The CFR configuration may indicate a PDCCH configuration (PDCCH-config) for the MBS, which may be separate from a PDCCH configuration of the dedicated unicast BWP. The CFR configuration may indicate a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration (SPS-config) for the MBS, which may be separate from an SPS configuration of the dedicated unicast BWP.

A CFR may be supported per (i.e., for each) dedicated unicast BWP for multicast of RRC connected UEs. In some cases, more than one CFR may be supported per dedicated unicast BWP. In some cases, multicast may be supported or not supported in a dedicated unicast BWP when no CFR is configured for that BWP. The CFR may be defined as an MBS frequency region, where the CFR may be associated with a UE dedicated BWP other than an initial BWP, and the CFR may be supported at least for multicast connected UEs.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of a CFR, in accordance with the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 3 , a first BWP may be associated with a first UE (UE1 BWP), and a second BWP may be associated with a second UE (UE2 BWP). The first BWP may not be aligned with the second BWP. A CFR may be associated with a frequency range within the first BWP and within the second BWP. In other words, the CFR may be common to both the first BWP associated with the first UE and the second BWP associated with the second UE.

As indicated above, FIG. 3 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 3 .

A control resource set (CORESET) for a GC-PDCCH may be configured within a CFR. For example, a frequency domain CORESET resource may be within the CFR, or a CORESET configuration may be provided as part of a CFR configuration in RRC signaling. A maximum quantity of CORESETs allowed per BWP may not be increased to support MBS, and a quantity of CORESETs configured within the CFR may depend on a base station implementation.

With respect to CORESET sharing between multicast and unicast, a CORESET configured in the PDCCH configuration for the MBS in the CFR may be used for unicast transmission. A CORESET configured in the PDCCH configuration for the MBS in the CFR, and for unicast in a dedicated unicast BWP, may be used for multicast transmission when the CORESET is fully contained in the CFR in a frequency domain. In some cases, the CORESET may or may not be configured in the CFR.

A common search space (CSS) may be used to carry a DCI format of a GC-PDCCH, where control channel element (CCE) indexes may be common for UEs in a multicast group. In some cases, a CSS that is used to carry the DCI format of the GC-PDCCH may be a Type-3 CSS. A monitoring priority of the Type-3 CSS may be defined for the GC-PDCCH. In some cases, a Type-x CSS may be supported. A monitoring priority of the Type-x CSS may be determined based at least in part on synchronization signal (SS) set indexes of the Type-x CSS set and UE-specific search space (USS) sets, regardless of which downlink control information (DCI) format of the GC-PDCCH is configured in the Type-x CSS. In some cases, the Type-x CSS may be the Type-3 CSS.

For the MBS, a maximum quantity of monitored PDCCH candidates and non-overlapped CCEs may be defined per slot per serving cell, or the maximum quantity of monitored PDCCH candidates and non-overlapping CCEs may be defined per span per serving cell, where a span may be one or multiple consecutive OFDM symbols in a slot. A budget of blind decodings (BDs) and/or CCEs of a component carrier (CC) may be used, similar to a multi-DCI based multi-TRP. For the MBS, a “3+1” DCI size budget may be defined. To limit UE complexity, the “3+1” DCI size budget may refer to the UE monitoring at most three different DCI sizes using a cell RNTI (C-RNTI) (hence being time-critical for scheduling) and one DCI size using other RNTIs (and hence less time critical). A group RNTI (G-RNTI) may be counted as a C-RNTI or as another type of RNTI.

For the MBS, two DCI formats may be supported for the GC-PDCCH. A DCI format 1_0 may be used as a baseline for a first DCI format with a CRC scrambled with a G-RNTI. As a baseline, existing fields in the DCI format 1_0 may be reused with the CRC scrambled by a C-RNTI for fields of the first DCI format. DCI format 1_1 or 1_2 may be used as a baseline for a second DCI format with a CRC scrambled with a G-RNTI. As a baseline, existing fields in the DCI format 1_1 may be reused for fields of the second DCI format.

For broadcast, the CFR may be defined for the GC-PDCCH/PDSCH. The UE may assume an initial BWP as a default CFR for the GC-PDCCH/PDSCH, when a specific CFR is not configured. A relationship between the CFR (if configured) and the initial BWP may be defined. In some cases, one or more CFRs may be configured for idle/inactive UEs. The UE may use a configured/defined CFR with a same size as the initial BWP, where the initial BWP may have same frequency resources as a CORESET, to receive the GC-PDCCH/PDSCH carrying a multicast control channel (MCCH) or a multicast traffic channel (MTCH).

For RRC idle or inactive UEs, up to two CORESETs may be configured within the CFR. A first CORESET (CORESET #0) may be used by default when the CFR is the initial BWP and the CORESET is not configured. When the CFR has a same frequency range as the initial BWP (e.g., the CORESET or a system information block type 1 (SIB1) configured initial BWP), UEs may be configured with the first CORESET (CORESET #0), and/or a CORESET configured by a common control resource set (commonControlResourceSet) parameter.

For RRC idle/inactive UEs, the CSS may be supported for the GC-PDCCH. The CSS may be the Type-3 CSS or the Type-x CSS. For the MCCH, both a first search space (searchSpace #0) and a CSS other than the first search space (searchSpace #0) can be configured. A same CSS type may be supported for the MCCH and the MTCH, or different CSS types may be supported for the MCCH and the MTCH. For RRC idle/inactive UEs, DCI format 1_0 may be used as a baseline for the GC-PDCCH of the MCCH and the MTCH.

For RRC idle/inactive UEs, for broadcast, beam sweeping may be supported for the GC-PDCCH/PDSCH. The UE may assume that the GC-PDCCH/PDSCH is quasi co-located with a synchronization signal block (SSB), and may be quasi co-located with a tracking reference signal (TRS) if configured. Depending on a UE implementation, the UE may monitor monitoring occasions corresponding to all SSB indexes or monitoring occasions corresponding to a subset of all SSB indexes. A same beam may be used for the GC-PDCCH and a corresponding scheduled GC-PDSCH for carrying the MCCH or the MTCH. The UE may assume that DMRS ports of the GC-PDCCH/PDSCH for the MCCH or the MTCH are quasi co-located with the SSB.

When the first search space (searchSpace #0) is configured for the MCCH, a mapping between PDCCH occasions and SSBs may be the same as for the SIB1. When a CSS other than the first search space (searchSpace #0) is configured for the MCCH, PDCCH monitoring occasions for an MCCH message which are not overlapping with uplink symbols may be sequentially numbered in an MCCH transmission window and may be mapped to SSBs.

For an MCCH change notification due to a session start, in a first option, a dedicated RNTI may be defined to scramble a CRC of a DCI indicating the MCCH change notification. In a second option, a field in a DCI format scheduling a MCCH may be used without a dedicated RNTI for the MCCH change notification.

System information may deliver at least one G-RNTI and a configuration for MBS reception in idle/inactive states, which may allow for receipt of the MCCH. An MBS based at least in part on the configuration provided by the system information (e.g., MCCH) may also include delivery of additional G-RNTI(s) and configurations for MBS reception. A common medium access control control element (MAC-CE) carried by a PDSCH may also provide configuration information. The MBS received in a cell-common CFR based at least in part on a broadcast RRC message may be referred to as “the broadcast of the MBS.” Features for receiving the broadcast of the MBS may be similar to those for receiving SIBs/paging messages. A DCI format for the broadcast of the MBS may be DCI format 1_0, and hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) may not be supported for the broadcast of the MBS.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example 400 of a multicast and broadcast service (MB S) configuration for a radio resource control (RRC) idle/inactive state, in accordance with the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 4 , a base station may transmit, to a UE, system information or an MCCH (e.g., a broadcast RRC message), or a common MAC-CE may indicate a cell-common CFR (e.g., CFR-cellCommon) parameter. The CFR-cellCommon parameter may indicate a CORESET, search space configurations, DMRS, and/or rate-matching for a PDSCH. Further, the system information or the MCCH (e.g., the broadcast RRC message) or the common MAC-CE may indicate G-RNTI(s) for broadcast MBS.

As indicated above, FIG. 4 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 4 .

During an RRC connected state, a UE may be configured with a CFR that includes a PDCCH configuration (PDCCH-Config) and a PDSCH configuration (PDSCH-Config) in a downlink BWP configuration. An MBS received in the CFR in the downlink BWP configuration based on a dedicated RRC message may be referred to as “the multicast of the MBS.” Features for receiving the multicast of the MBS may be different than those for receiving SIBS/paging messages. A DCI format for the multicast of the MBS may be either DCI format 1_0 or DCI format 1_1, and HARQ-ACK may be supported for the multicast of the MBS

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example 500 of an MBS configuration for an RRC connected state, in accordance with the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 5 , a base station may transmit, to a UE, a serving cell configuration (ServingCellConfig), which may be a dedicated RRC message. The ServingCellConfig parameter may indicate, for a BWP configuration, a BWP downlink (BWP-Downlink) parameter. The BWP-Downlink may be associated with a BWP downlink common (BWP-DownlinkCommon) parameter and a BWP downlink dedicated (BWP-DownlinkDedicated) parameter. The BWP-DownlinkCommon parameter may be associated with a PDCCH configuration common (PDCCH-ConfigCommon) parameter and a PDSCH configuration common (PDSCH-ConfigCommon) parameter. The BWP-DownlinkDedicated parameter may be associated with a PDCCH configuration (PDCCH-Config) parameter and a PDSCH configuration (PDSCH-Config) parameter. Further, the BWP configuration may indicate a CFR BWP (CFR-BWP) parameter, which may be associated with a PDCCH-Config parameter and a PDSCH-Config parameter.

As indicated above, FIG. 5 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 5 .

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example 600 of an MBS configuration for an RRC connected state, in accordance with the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 6 , during an RRC connected state, G-RNTI(s) for multicast MBS may be provided by a dedicated RRC message. In a first option, G-RNTI(s) for multicast MBS may be configured in a BWP configuration. Different sets of G-RNTI(s) may be configured for different downlink BWPs. The BWP configuration may indicate a CFR-BWP parameter. In a second option, G-RNTI(s) for multicast MBS may be configured in a ServingCellConfig, which may be associated with a dedicated RRC message. G-RNTI(s) may be common for different downlink BWPs, but may be independent for different serving cells. In a third option, G-RNTI(s) for multicast MB S may be configured in a cell-group configuration (cellGroupConfig), which may be associated with a dedicated message.

As indicated above, FIG. 6 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 6 .

In an RRC connected state, a UE may receive a broadcast of an MB S in an active downlink BWP. A CFR for the broadcast of the MBS may be identified by a broadcast RRC message or a common MAC-CE. Alternatively, a base station may indicate, to the UE, the CFR for the broadcast of the MBS as a dedicated RRC message. In the RRC connected state, in a first case, a multicast of an MBS may be received in an active downlink BWP. In a second case, the broadcast of the MBS may be received in the active downlink BWP. In a third case, multicast and broadcast of the MBS may be received in the active downlink BWP.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example 700 of an MBS configuration for an RRC connected state, in accordance with the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 7 , in an RRC connected state, a UE may receive system information, an MCCH (e.g., a broadcast RRC message), a common MAC-CE, or a dedicated RRC message, which may indicate a CFR-cellCommon parameter, which may be associated with a broadcast of an MBS. Alternatively, a UE may receive a ServingCellConfig (e.g., a dedicated RRC message), which may be associated with the broadcast of the MBS. In either case, the UE may receive the broadcast of the MBS in an active downlink BWP.

As indicated above, FIG. 7 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 7 .

A UE may support a first PDSCH processing capability (PDSCH processing capability 1) and/or a second PDSCH processing capability (PDSCH processing capability 2). The UE may receive a PDSCH from a base station. The UE may transmit HARQ ACK feedback, based at least in part on the PDSCH, in accordance with the first PDSCH processing capability or the second PDSCH processing capability. In other words, the first PDSCH processing capability and the second PDSCH processing capability may define a timeline for the HARQ ACK feedback. The second PDSCH processing capability may be enabled in a processing Type 2 enabled (processingType2Enabled) parameter in a PDSCH serving cell configuration (PDSCH-ServingCellConfig), which may be common for downlink BWP configurations for a serving cell.

A PDSCH processing time for the first PDSCH processing capability may be defined as a PDSCH decoding time Ni (in symbols), which may vary depending on a numerology (μ) and corresponding subcarrier spacing. When a DMRS additional position is ‘pos0’ (e.g., dmrs-AdditionalPosition=‘pos0’) in a DMRS downlink configuration (DMRS-DownlinkConfig), the PDSCH decoding time may be 8 symbols, 10 symbols, 17 symbols, or 20 symbols, depending on the numerology. When the DMRS additional position is not equal to ‘pos0’ (dmrs-AdditionalPosition≠‘pos0’) in the DMRS downlink configuration (DMRS-DownlinkConfig), the PDSCH decoding time may be 13 symbols, 20 symbols, or 24 symbols, depending on the numerology. When the DMRS additional position is not equal to ‘pos0’, an additional DMRS may be present in the PDSCH.

A PDSCH processing time for the second PDSCH processing capability may be defined as a PDSCH decoding time Ni (in symbols), which may vary depending on the numerology (μ) and corresponding subcarrier spacing. When the DMRS additional position is ‘pos0’ (e.g., dmrs-AdditionalPosition=‘pos0’) in the DMRS downlink configuration (DMRS-DownlinkConfig), the PDSCH decoding time may be 3 symbols, 4.5 symbols, or 9 symbols for FR1, depending on the numerology. The PDSCH processing time for the second PDSCH processing capability may be less than the PDSCH processing time for the first PDSCH processing capability. Further, for the second PDSCH processing capability, no additional DMRS may be present in the PDSCH.

When enabled, the UE may satisfy a processing timeline requirement defined for the second PDSCH processing capability, with a condition that the DMRS additional position is ‘pos0’. In other words, when the DMRS additional position is ‘pos0’, the PDSCH may only carry a front-loaded DMRS without an additional DMRS. The UE may be configured with the additional DMRS by the DMRS additional position (dmrs-AdditionalPosition) parameter. The DMRS additional position of ‘pos0’ may indicate the front-loaded DMRS and no additional DMRS, whereas a DMRS additional position that is not equal to ‘pos0’ may indicate the front-loaded DMRS and the additional DMRS.

On the other hand, a PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0 may be associated with the DMRS additional position being ‘pos2’, meaning that the PDSCH may carry the front-loaded DMRS with the additional DMRS. When the DMRS additional position is ‘pos2’, up to two additional single-symbol DMRSs may be present in a slot. The DMRS additional position may be equal to ‘pos0’, ‘pos1’, ‘pos2’, or ‘pos3’, which may indicate whether or not the additional DMRS is present.

For a downlink cell configured with the second PDSCH processing capability, no processing timeline requirement is defined for the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format 1_0, which may be acceptable for a cell-broadcast type of PDSCHs, such as system information, paging, random access, and so on. However, for unicast PDSCH, HARQ-ACK feedback may not be available without defining the processing timeline requirement for the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format 1_0. Further, for an MBS PDSCH, a UE may not be configured to follow the second PDSCH processing capability or not be configured to follow the second PDSCH processing capability for the downlink cell.

In various aspects of techniques and apparatuses described herein, a UE may receive, from a base station, an indication that indicates whether an MBS PDSCH scheduled by DCI is associated with a second PDSCH processing capability. The MBS PDSCH may be scrambled by a G-RNTI configured for the MBS, and the DCI scheduling the MBS PDSCH may be with a CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI or a C-RNTI. The second PDSCH processing capability may have a shorter duration than a first PDSCH processing capability. In some aspects, the indication may indicate that the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is associated with the second PDSCH processing capability based at least in part on the MBS PDSCH not having an additional DMRS. In some aspects, the indication may indicate that the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is not associated with the second PDSCH processing capability based at least in part on the MBS PDSCH having an additional DMRS, and that the UE is not required to meet the second PDSCH processing capability when the MBS PDSCH is scheduled by the DCI. In some aspects, the indication may indicate that the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is not associated with the second PDSCH processing capability based at least in part on the MBS PDSCH having an additional DMRS, and that the UE is not required to meet the second PDSCH processing capability when the MBS PDSCH is scheduled by the DCI. The UE may receive, from the base station, the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI. The UE may transmit, to the base station and based at least in part on the indication, HARQ-ACK feedback in accordance with the first PDSCH processing capability or the second PDSCH processing capability. As a result, based at least in part on the indication, the UE may determine whether the MB S PDSCH should be associated with the second PDSCH processing capability depending on a presence of the additional DMRS.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example 800 associated with processing capabilities for MBS PDSCHs, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8 , example 800 includes communication between a UE (e.g., UE 120) and a base station (e.g., base station 110). In some aspects, the UE and the base station may be included in a wireless network, such as wireless network 100.

As shown by reference number 802, the UE may receive, from the base station, an indication that indicates whether an MBS PDSCH scheduled by DCI is associated with a second PDSCH processing capability. The MBS PDSCH may be scrambled by a G-RNTI configured for the MBS and the DCI scheduling the MBS PDSCH may be with a CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI or a C-RNTI. The DCI may be a DCI format 1_0, a DCI format 1_1, or a DCI format 1_2.

In some aspects, the second PDSCH processing capability has a shorter duration than a first PDSCH processing capability. The second PDSCH processing capability may be associated with a PDSCH decoding time, and the PDSCH decoding time may be based at least in part on a front-loaded DMRS with no additional DMRS. The first PDSCH processing capability may be associated with a PDSCH decoding time, and the PDSCH decoding time may be based at least in part on a front-loaded DMRS with no additional DMRS, or the PDSCH decoding time may be based at least in part on the front-loaded DMRS with an additional DMRS.

In some aspects, the indication may indicate that the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is associated with the second PDSCH processing capability based at least in part on the MBS PDSCH not having an additional DMRS. In some aspects, the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format 1_0 may be associated with the second PDSCH processing capability. For the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format 1_0 with the CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI, the UE may meet the second PDSCH process capability. For the MBS PDSCH, the UE may assume that a DMRS additional position is equal to ‘pos0’ (dmrs-AdditionalPosilion=‘pos0’), even when the MBS PDSCH is scheduled by the DCI format 1_0.

In some aspects, the DCI for the MBS PDSCH and a DCI for another purpose may be associated with different radio RNTIs, different DCI payload sizes, and/or different sets of resources for PDCCH candidates. In some aspects, a differentiation between the DCI format 1_0 for MBS PDSCH and a DCI format 1_0 for other purposes may be realized by an RNTI. The DCI format 1_0 for the MBS PDSCH may have the CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI. The differentiation between the DCI format 1_0 for MBS PDSCH and the DCI format 1_0 for other purposes may be realized by a DCI payload size. The DCI format 1_0 for MBS PDSCH may have a different payload size as compared to the DCI format 1_0 for the other purposes. The differentiation between the DCI format 1_0 for MBS PDSCH and the DCI format 1_0 for other purposes may be realized by a set of resources for a PDCCH candidate. The DCI format 1_0 for the MBS PDSCH may have a different set of CCEs as compared to the DCI format 1_0 for other purposes.

In some aspects, the indication may indicate that the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI is not associated with the second PDSCH processing capability based at least in part on the MBS PDSCH having an additional DMRS, and that the UE is not required to meet the second PDSCH processing capability when the MBS PDSCH is scheduled by the DCI. In some aspects, the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format 1_0 may not be associated with the second PDSCH processing capability. For the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format 1_0 with the CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI, the UE may not be required to meet the second PDSCH process capability. For the MBS PDSCH, the UE may assume that the DMRS additional position is equal to ‘pos2’ (dmrs-AdditionalPosition=‘pos2’), when the MBS PDSCH is scheduled by the DCI format 1_0. In some aspects, the UE may initially decode a PDCCH and, depending on a presence of the DCI format 1_0 with the CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI, the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI may be assumed to have the additional DMRS, and the UE may process the MBS PDSCH without meeting the second PDSCH process capability.

In some aspects, the indication may indicate that for MBS data carried by the MBS PDSCH and processed with the first PDSCH processing capability, a retransmission of the MBS data may not be processed at the UE with the second PDSCH processing capability. In some aspects, when the MBS data is carried by the MBS PDSCH and the MBS data is processed with the first PDSCH process capability, the retransmission of the MBS data may not be expected to be processed with the second PDSCH process capability. In other words, when an initial transmission of the MBS data carried by the MBS PDSCH is scheduled by the DCI format 1_0 with the CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI, the retransmission of the MBS data may be expected to be scheduled by the DCI format 1_0 with the CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI.

In some aspects, the indication may indicate that a first type of MBS PDSCH may be associated with the second PDSCH processing capability and a second type of MBS PDSCH may not be associated with the second PDSCH processing capability. In some aspects, certain types of MBS PDSCHs may be associated with the second PDSCH process capability, and other types of MBS PDSCHs may not be associated with the second PDSCH process capability. For the first type of MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format 1_0 with the CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI, the UE may not be required to meet the second PDSCH process capability. For the MBS PDSCH, the UE may assume that the DMRS additional position is equal to ‘pos2’ (dmrs-AdditionalPosition=‘pos2’), when the MBS PDSCH is scheduled by the DCI format 1_0. For the second type of MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format 1_0 with the CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI, the UE may meet the second PDSCH process capability. For the MBS PDSCH, the UE may assume that the DMRS additional position is equal to ‘pos0’ (dmrs-AdditionalPosition=‘pos0’), even when the MBS PDSCH is scheduled by the DCI format 1_0.

In some aspects, the first type of MBS PDSCH and the second type of MBS PDSCH may be associated with different RNTIs, different DCI payload sizes, different DCI formats, and/or different sets of resources for PDCCH candidates. In some aspects, a differentiation between the first type of MBS PDSCH and the second type of MBS PDSCH may be realized by the RNTIs (e.g., different G-RNTIs between the first type of MBS PDSCH and the second type of MBS PDSCH), and/or search space sets (e.g., different search space sets between the first type of MBS PDSCH and the second type of MBS PDSCH). The differentiation between the first type of MBS PDSCH and the second type of MBS PDSCH may be realized by the DCI payload size. The DCI format 1_0 associated with the first type of MBS PDSCH may have a different payload size than the DCI format 1_0 associated with the second type of MBS PDSCH. The differentiation between the first type of MBS PDSCH and the second type of MBS PDSCH may be realized by the set of resources for the PDCCH candidate. The DCI format 1_0 associated with the first type of MBS PDSCH may have a different set of CCEs as compared to the DCI format 1_0 associated with the second type of MBS PDSCH.

In some aspects, a broadcast of an MBS may be associated with the first type of MBS PDSCH and a multicast of an MBS may be associated with the second type of MBS PDSCH. The differentiation between the first type of MBS PDSCH and the second type of MBS PDSCH may be realized by the multicast of the MBS and the broadcast of the MBS. The broadcast of the MBS may be associated with the first type of MBS PDSCH, and the multicast of the MBS may be associated with the second type of MBS PDSCH. In some aspects, an MBS PDSCH may disable the HARQ-ACK feedback and may be associated with the first type of MBS PDSCH, and the MBS PDSCH may enable the HARQ-ACK feedback and may be associated with the second type of MBS PDSCH. The differentiation between the first type of MBS PDSCH and the second type of MBS PDSCH may be realized by whether the HARQ-ACK feedback is enabled or not. The MBS PDSCH that disables the HARQ-ACK feedback (e.g., via RRC signaling or DCI) may be associated with the first type of MBS PDSCH, and the MBS PDSCH that enables the HARQ-ACK feedback (e.g., via RRC signaling or DCI) may be associated with the second type of MBS PDSCH.

In some aspects, a DCI format 1_1 or a DCI format 1_2 (as opposed to the DCI format 1_0) may support scheduling an MBS PDSCH, and a downlink cell may enable a second PDSCH processing capability and may be configured with the DCI format 1_1 or the DCI format 1_2 for scheduling the MBS PDSCH. In this case, in a first option, the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format 1_1 or the DCI format 1_2 may be associated with the second PDSCH processing capability when the MBS PDSCH does not have additional DMRS. In a second option, the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format 1_1 or the DCI format 1_2 may be associated with the first PDSCH processing capability when the MBS PDSCH has additional DMRS. In a third option, a first type of MBS PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI format 1_1 or the DCI format 1_2 may be associated with the second PDSCH process capability, while a second type of MBS PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI format 1_1 or the DCI format 1_2 may be associated with the first PDSCH process capability.

As shown by reference number 804, the UE may receive, from the base station, the MBS PDSCH scheduled by the DCI. The MBS PDSCH may be scrambled by the G-RNTI configured for the MBS and the DCI scheduling the MBS PDSCH may be with the CRC scrambled by the G-RNTI or the C-RNTI.

As shown by reference number 806, the UE may transmit, to the base station and based at least in part on the indication, the HARQ-ACK feedback in accordance with the first PDSCH processing capability or the second PDSCH processing capability. The first PDSCH processing capability or the second PDSCH processing capability may be associated with the PDSCH decoding time and may impact a quantity of symbols that pass before the UE is able to transmit the HARQ-ACK feedback to the base station.

As indicated above, FIG. 8 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 8 .

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example process 900 performed, for example, by a UE, in accordance with the present disclosure. Example process 900 is an example where the UE (e.g., UE 120) performs operations associated with processing capabilities for MBS PDSCHs.
